Medical Physics Program

The goal of the Medical Physics Graduate Program at the University of Miami is to train students to develop the necessary academic framework as well as a thorough practical understanding in medical physics, including areas of diagnostic radiologic physics, health physics, nuclear medicine, and a designated focus on radiation therapy.

Our MS in Medical Physics Program provides students with the educational and clinical training needed to further their medical physicist career. This CAMPEP-accredited program makes students eligible to apply for medical physics residency programs and register for the American Board of Radiology certification exams.
